When I moved from New York to North Carolina a few years ago, I was thrilled to no longer have to deal with all things winter: slushy sidewalks, freezing-cold commutes, and layer after layer of clothing anytime I left the house. Yet to my surprise, I quickly learned that my new state still has its share of chilly days — and that having the right gear to handle them is super important. In addition to a cozy jacket and some ultra-warm leggings, I snagged a pair of slip-on booties from Skechers, which immediately became my go-to shoes for the winter months. 

Seriously: I am obsessed with these slippers. For one thing, the Skechers Bobs Skipper Mushers Delight Slip-On Booties are ridiculously comfortable, featuring a soft suede upper, faux-fur trim and lining, and a deeply cushioned memory foam insole. Since they fit like sneakers, I can walk for hours in them without any kind of issue, and I wear them for everything from 15-minute dog walks to day-long adventures. There’s rubber traction on the outsole, too, to prevent you from slipping.

To buy: amazon.com, zappos.com, and skechers.com, from $40 (originally $80) 

Then, there’s the warmth. These Skechers shoes are thick and plush, and because of that lining, my ankles stay just as cozy as my feet. They’re just as warm as any of the mid-rise boots I own, and keep me feeling good even when the temperature dips dreadfully low. And of course, there’s the style.

Even better? The Skechers Bobs Skipper Mushers Delight Slip-On Booties are currently on sale across these major retailers. Right now, you can score a pair for as little as $40, which means they’re up to 50 percent off. The very best part, though, is that the brand also gives back. For every purchase, Skechers donates a portion of the profits to organizations that help shelter dogs and cats. To date, they’ve given over $9 million to in-need animals. So, when you nab a pair of these shoes, you can know you’re making a real difference.

At the time of publishing, the price started at $40.
